Crypto Analyst Reveals Hidden Gems: 8 Must-Have Altcoins in Your Portfolio

Renowned cryptocurrency analyst Michaël Van de Poppe has shared his latest altcoin portfolio, expressing optimism despite past losses during altcoin rallies. He believes that rising global liquidity—driven by China’s economic slowdown and increased U.S. treasury bond purchases—is setting the stage for altcoin gains. According to Van de Poppe, altcoins are on the verge of a breakout, with the next few months poised for exciting growth.

Van de Poppe’s portfolio features a mix of four major altcoins and four lesser-known ones, each chosen for its potential to generate substantial returns. His strategy focuses on using these undervalued assets to grow Bitcoin holdings.

Major Altcoins to Watch

Optimism (OP)

Van de Poppe’s “safe play” is Optimism, a layer-2 solution on Ethereum. With the highly anticipated launch of EigenLayer, Optimism is expected to benefit from increased scalability while maintaining security and decentralization. The analyst is bullish on OP due to its ability to lower transaction costs and enhance Ethereum’s ecosystem.

Celestia (TIA)

A modular blockchain platform, Celestia (TIA) is making headlines with a remarkable 31.5% gain in just two days, fueled by the recent Lemongrass Update. Despite this, Celestia has faced considerable price corrections but is positioned to become a top 20 coin as it fills a unique niche with no direct competitors.

Bittensor (TAO)

Focused on AI technology, Bittensor (TAO) has experienced significant corrections but is now poised for growth. With recent price gains of 6.25% in a single day and 40.55% over the past week, TAO has the potential to deliver returns of 20x to 30x. Van de Poppe highlights its recent breakout from consolidation as a strong bullish sign.

Ethereum Name Service (ENS)

ENS is viewed as a high-beta asset, with the potential to outperform Ethereum itself in a market rally. Key partnerships, including its integration with PayPal, enhance its growth prospects.

Hidden Gems with High Growth Potential

Van de Poppe also highlights several lesser-known altcoins that he believes are undervalued.

Renzo

Linked to the EigenLayer narrative, Renzo has a low market cap but substantial total value locked (TVL). Van de Poppe expects Renzo to see significant upside as the market recognizes its potential.

Omni

Another EigenLayer-related project, Omni, stands out for its positive TVL and undervalued market cap, making it a compelling choice.

Rocket Pool (RPL)

Rocket Pool, a DeFi protocol focused on Ethereum staking, is another pick. Its high TVL indicates strong fundamentals, and Van de Poppe believes it has considerable growth potential.

Evolution (EVO)

As a leading decentralized exchange (DEX), Evolution is noted for its role in prediction markets. With a low market cap, EVO is seen as a promising asset with room for significant appreciation.

Van de Poppe’s approach involves actively trading and repositioning his portfolio based on changing market conditions. He remains confident that altcoins will outperform Bitcoin in the near future, especially as the market shifts from bearish to bullish sentiment.
